Rapper Lil Wayne refused to go through security to enter a South Carolina arena where he was to perform. He was not allowed and had to skip the concert. He spent eight months in a New York City jail for gun possession after police found the weapon on his tour bus as he left a 2007 concert.

A statement by managers of the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia says Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., refused to enter the building when security workers sought to apply “the venue’s standard safety procedures.” The arena’s management says it wasn’t willing to make an exception for the headliner of Saturday night’s show “and jeopardize safety.”

Tory Lanez, 2 Chainz and Cardi B performed as scheduled.
